Having received an excellent classical See also:education, he studied See also:engraving under his See also:brother-in-See also:law, See also:Nicholas Regnesson; and, his See also:crayon portraits having attracted See also:attention, he was pensioned by See also:- LOUIS

He died at See also:Paris in 1678. The plates of Nanteuil, several of them approaching the See also:scale of See also:life, number about three See also:hundred. In his See also:early practice he imitated the technique of his predecessors, working with straight lines, strengthened, but not crossed, in the shadows, in the See also:style of See also:Claude Mellan, and in other prints See also:cross-hatching like Regnesson, or stippling in the manner of Jean See also:Boulanger; but he gradually asserted his full individuality, modelling the faces of his portraits with the utmost precision and completeness, and employing various methods of See also:touch for the draperies and other parts of his plates. Among the finest See also:works of his fully See also:developed See also:period may be named the portraits of Pomponne de Bellievre, Gilles See also:Menage, Jean Loret, the duc de la Meilleraye and the duchess de See also:Nemours.
A See also:list of his works will be found in Dumesnil's Le Peintre-graveur See also:francais, vol. iv.
